This place is simply the bomb! Order at the counter burrito, nachos, and salads. NOT comparable to other counter order burrito places...you know the ones! This is unlike any we have ever tried. Tip: If you actually order the Flaming Amy...it is HOT! One of our family favorites is the Buffalo Chicken Burrito!
